Histological And Histochemical Atudies on Stomach And Intestine of Fayomi Fowl With Special Reference To Age And Ration Variations

This work was carried out on 98 male and female Payomi chicks e.nd Fowls. Forty eight 1 day-26 weekBold chickens normal healthy fowls were used for macro- snd micromorphological studies in add! tion to thehistochemical reactions. Twenty-five chicks of 1 day old chicks weregiven vitamin A-deficient ration until chioks of 1 day old chicks were given. Protein deficient ration ~tl1 were sacrifioed at 2, 4, 8 and 10 weeks of age. The samples collected at various ages from the chick- ens on the defticient ration were used tor a~The morphological studies showed that, the prove- ntriculus of ~ayom1 fowls i8 small tubuIar in shape carrying maorosoopio papillae on its muoosa.Microscop- ioally, ~he lamina ~p1thelialis is formed of simplecolnmnar epithelium of mucus_seoreting type.
